ARROW-SHOOTING.- GUN.

Application led December 22, 1326. Serial No. 156,351.

This invention relates to toys, and its gen.

eralobject is to provide a toy gun ofthe projectile ejecting type, that` is extremely easy to the bottom wall of the chamber respectively is a coil spring 11. j Mounted for slidable'movement in the bore operate and will'eject a projectile 'a great dis\ 4 is -a plunger 12 which is provided with a tance with considerable accuracy.

A further object of the invention is to provide a vtoy gun of the projectile ejecting type,

that inc-ludes'a rubber strip for its ejecting power, that can .be replacedwhen worn or broken inan eas with very little e ort. v

Another objectof the inventionA is to pro vide a toy gun that is simple in construction,

includes few parts, is inexpensive to manufacture and is efficient in operation and service.

` This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be'hereinafter fully described,- illustrated in the accompanying drawings1 and specifically pointed out in the appended' claim.

In describing my inventlon in detaiL-reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Fi ure 1 is a side4 elevation ot' the toy gun formlng the subject matter of the present invention with a part broken awa Figure 2 isa top plan view t ereof. l

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 3-'3 of Figure 1, lookingin the dlrection of the arrows.

Figure 4.- is aperspective view of the project'ile plunger. j

-Referring to the drawings in detail it will be noted that the stock and barrel portion of the gun are formed from a pair of cooperating sections 1 and 2,shaped to simulate a gun and held together through the instrumentality of screws or like securing elements 3. 1

The portion of the sections which provide the barrel of the gun 4are each formed with an elongated recess to provide a bore 4 when the sections are secured to each other as shown in the drawings. The recesses communicate at their inner end with relatively large recesses which form a chamber 5, and pivotally secured in the chamber by a pivot pin is a trigger 7 having extending therefrom. and passing through an opening 8 is the trigger control arm 9 having a curved finger portion 10. Arranged in the chamber and having its end convolution engaging the trigger 7 and and expeditious manner site sides of a block 16 and the walls of the fbore 4, as best shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. The block 16 is provided with a. bore 17 adapted to register with the bore 13 of the plunger 12, and in order to positively clamp the end portions of the rubber band in the manner as sliownfa substantially U-shaped clamp-18 is secured to the ends of the sections by bolt and nut connections 19 which pass through the sections as well as grooves' .formed in the side walls of the block 16 so as to retain the block in its operative position.

The clamp 18 is formed with an opening 20 disposed in registration with the bore of the block. Y

The trigger 7 is notchedto provide a shoulder 21 which cooperates with the shoulder 22 formed in the plunger which is provided with a cam surface 23 so that when the plunger is forced inwardly by a projectile 24, against the tension of the elastic strip 15, the engagement of the cam surface 23 with the trigger will allow the shoulders of the trigger and plunger to be disposed in contacting engagement so'as they will be interlocked as best shown inFigure 1. .The coil spring 11 acts to retain the trigger in its operative position with the plunger.

` rom the above description 'and disclosure of thedrawings, it will be obvious that I have -provided a toy gun that isextremely simple in construction, and when it is desired to operate the same, the projectile 24 is positioned in a manner to have its inner end arranged in the bore 13 of the plunger 12, the

outer end of the projectile is arranged on the the same under tension for ejecting the projectile'which is ejected by merely pulling upon the` trlgger arm 9. In the event the elastic strip should become worn or broken, it can be re laced'by merely removing the clamp 18 and t e screws 3 which will allow the sectlons to be separated so that access may be had to the interior thereof.

The un ma be formed from any material desire and w ile I have shown the same provided with flat walls, it can be rovided with a round in cross section barre with a stock portion formed in the usual manner. l

It is thought from the foregoin description that the advantages and nove features of m invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the com-y bination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is:

A toy gun of the character described comprising a pair of like sections, formed with recesses to provide a bore and a chamber, a

ing the end portions of the strip therein, and

a projectile ada ted to be arranged in a bore formed in the p unger for putting the elastic stripl under tension and securing the plunger to t e tri ger, clamping means for retainm block in operative position an being formed with an opening for the pas sage of said projectile, and screws cooperating with said clamping means for holding the sections together.
